Spring Break

Sweet Kaye and Allan allowed us to use their cabin for our spring break.  We went up on Monday because Kaye, Allan, Mares, Mom and Dad were up there over the weekend for General Conference. Just as we pulled in their driveway, Kaye and Allan were packing up their car.  So we went upstairs and visited for a little before they left.  We tried to convince them to stay up there with us but they had some doctor appointments to go to.  They are so generous in letting us come up and stay at their cabin.  It was a really quiet cabin break because it was just me and my kids and Shan and her kids.  We stayed Monday-Friday because we had to come back for Jannika's wedding shower on Saturday and Bridger had a baseball tournament all day Saturday.  We enjoyed everyday at the cabin!  They boys played on their iPods a lot!  We watched movies, went for walks, animal drives, took naps, made pearler beads designs, and just played lots of games.

Mares left up some zingers for us to eat.  They were a big hit with the kids!

Lilly and Tanner are playing on their "electronic devices" too.  They both have little laptop computers that they like to play on.  

I went for bikes rides.  There was only one day that I couldn't go because it was too cold and rainy but the rest of the days, I took long bike rides by the lake.  I absolutely love biking in Bear Lake.  It's beautiful!

One of our activities was decorating eggs.  Neither one of us did it at Easter time so we cooked a bunch of eggs and then had a decorating party.  The kids loved it and were very creative.  

This is one of our favorite activities at the cabin......watching a movie!!!  Shan felt so sick at night that she couldn't stay up and watch movies so we watched a couple of movies during the day.  A couple of nights, the boys stayed up and watched a movie with me.  

There was still some snow at the cabin.  My boys brought up their snow clothes so they played in the snow and had a ball.  Tanner and Lilly took these monster trucks out and played in the snow with them.  

Tanner and Lilly took their blankets out on the front porch and laid in the sunshine.  It's been a long winter.  It was so cute to see them laying on their blankets soaking up the sunshine.  They got board of just laying on their blankets so they brought the game Tenzie outside and played it.  Their game turned into throwing the dice off the porch so we never recovered all of the dice.

Chase's favorite thing to do was play on his iPhone.  Aliyah and Bridger's favorite thing to do was play with pearler beads.  They made some really fun designs.  Bridger made a BYU football helmet and Aliyah made a big birthday cake.  

On our last night, we drove into town and ate at the Hungry Bear for pizza.  We were done with cooking  (even though we've kept things really simple).  On our way home we saw a ton of deer at the bottom of the hill.  We were pulled over to the side of the road and a lady stopped and asked us if we were ok.  We said we were ok and were just looking at all of the deer.  I think they're pretty used to it up there because she looked at us kind of funny.
